yup cant imagine theyd wanna commit to 7 mill a year for pettersson when we got some of our own cap mess to clean up @tbh_nothing

can see why they'd think that now

yeah that makes sense, dont wanna get too deep into pettersson when detroit still needs to fix its own cap issues, gonna be a looong summer there ngl

@fenwickfan: actually, according to the cap space discussion from yesterday, Detroit's still over 10M under the ceiling after their recent signings. Not exactly "cap mess" territory like you mentioned @section7lak.

yeah didnt know that about detroit's cap but yeah still sounds like theyre in no position to break bank on pettersson man

yeah i guess thats a relief about detroit's cap space, dont wanna see them get stuck between pettersson and still paying off the cossa trade ngl @Kings17

yeah didnt think theyd be in a tough spot like that w/ cossa's deal still lingering man @Kings17

i didnt realize cossa's deal was that bad either, wonder how theyre gonna make it work w/ his cap hit still looming over them ngl @section7lak

im pretty sure we aint breaking bank on pettersson anyway, got alot of holes on our d to fill first dont think cap space is even the issue here man @fenwickfan

yeah idk what pettersson's gonna cost but if we dont address our d first then its all mute ngl @andy_v

ngl i think @andy_v hit the nail on the head, we got way more pressing needs than pettersson right now man
